T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY GONGERN:

Be it known -that' I, HENRY C. IELL, `oi' H eyworth, in the county of McLean, and State of Illinois, have invented a. new `nnduseful Improvement inl Chur-ns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, und exact description thereof, which will enable those skilledA in the art to make and use the seme, reference being had to thc-accompanying drawings, formingport `of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a. vertical longitudinal section of m'y improved churn, taken-through the line a; sv, iig. 2. Figure 2 is a horizontalv cross-section of the same, takenthroughthe line y y, tig. 1 Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parte. My invention has for its object'to furnish an improvedchurn, simple in construction, easily operated, and which will develop all the butter that muy be in the milk in o. very short time; and it consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of the hollow dasher-shaft, curved fuunel-shnped dasher,.and partition- -boards with euch other end wth the body ofthe churn, the whole being constructed und arranged as hereinafter more fully described. i rA is the body ofthe churJn,'-which is' a square box of any desired size, according to the amount of cream to be churned uta time.l The body, A, of the churn may be made round, if desired, but I prefer' to make it square, as theengles moreh eifectually break up the currents caused by' the action of. the ldasher. B is the 'cover of the churn, to one part o f which, or tothe upper part of the body of the churn, lire attached supports or standards, C, in bearings in the .upper ends of` which works the horizontal shaft D. "Iothe outer end of the shaft D is V attached the crank E, and to its inner end is attaehede large beveI-g'ear wheel, F, the teeth of which meshjnto the teethv ofthe small bevel-gear' wheel Gr,l uttehed to the upper'end of the dasher-shoi't H. The dasher-shaft H passes through and works irl-bearings in the centre ofithe cover B, ondin its lower end is formed a..socket, which works upon a pivot attached vto the centre of the churn-bottom. The dashe'bshaft H' is 'made hollow, or tubular, andto its lower end are attached two or more curved f un'nels, I, the interior of which communicate -with 5the interior of the tubular shaft H. J is a. partition-boalrd, extending'across the body A of the churnl 4below the tunnels I, und the upper edge of which'is notched, so as'to fit nro'reclosely to the said revolving funnel-dasher. lK is a removable partition-board,'extending across the body of the churn in a. verticalposition, and the ends of which eriter and move up -anddown in grooves in the sides of said churn-body, as shown in figs.' 1 and 2. A, As the ldesher-is revolved throughthe cream, the tendency is to form-a vacuum in the rear of the mouths of the funnels I, to llh'which vacuumV the air rushes in through the shaft H, ztndescepng from said funnels rises i 'throughthe'creum throwing tfinto violent gitaton. A t the sameti'me the revolution ofthe' dasher through` the-cream .communicates to it a rotary motion, or throws it int'o circulur` currents, which re broken up by the corners'or angles of the 5churnfbody A,and more especially by-the partition-boords J and K, thus increasing the agitation of thecream, so that the churning is accomplished in e very short time, developing all the' butter `thzttmaybeinssidcreem.- l f' v -v I,

Being aware of the patents grantedtoWilliamWeddington, dated July 23,1867, forhollow d asher, and to H. Aldrich, February 7, 1865, for vertical purtition-boards, I do not wish to claim these features broadly; -but What I claim as new, and desire to secure" by Letters ntent, is i The combination ofi-the tubular dasher-shaft H, two or more curved funnels I, und the 4vertical partitionboards J und K with each other and withthebody A of the churn, s'ubstuntiallyos herein show'n and described, and for the purpose setforth. I
